Prioritizing full name vs username in the UX

[sam (Sam Saffron)]

I just added a site setting that allows you to prioritize full names as opposed to usernames in the UI.

When usernames are prioritized cause the site setting prioritize_username_in_ux is enabled you will see:

In card:

On user page:

In post stream:

If you change it so prioritize_username_in_ux is disabled you will see:

In card:

On user page:

In post stream:

I feel an @ symbol may be worth adding per:

This can be done safely via CSS, leaving it off for now.

Quotes inside the UX still pull in username eg:

@sam

Eg: this quote is going to sam: as opposed to sam saffron:

We may look at making this switch to be fullname based when the setting is set.

Bug report: If full name is blankish, username is offset and not fully bold

[mcwumbly (Dave McClure)]

eh?

Full name @mentions

It would look more elegent in posts if @leo (for example) was presented as (or at least the user had the option to present it as) “Leo” or “Leo McArdle”.

Still abusable, but we might as well correct that server side by doing a trim on save that is unicode aware.

That is a can-of-worms to implement, same class as improving quotes. I may get to it, but not for this round.

I believe the username should be shown with @ by the default. It’s a lot less confusing.

And the username should always be visible. Don’t make me think.

At symbol too noisy repeated all over the page. In the user card should suffice.

Isso está funcionando na maioria dos lugares, mas não nas notificações por e-mail.

Então, por exemplo, no cartão do usuário, parece correto.

Mas nas notificações por e-mail, o nome completo não é priorizado:

(também acho que apenas um dos dois nomes precisa ser hiperlinkado, o primeiro, eu acho)

@techAPJ, você pode investigar uma correção para os e-mails?

Corrigido via:

FIX: respect prioritize_username_in_ux setting in email

Quando prioritize_username_in_ux está habilitado:

Quando prioritize_username_in_ux está desabilitado:

Simplificamos ainda mais o estilo para usar o mesmo CSS para username e user-name. (note o peso da fonte em negrito para username versus o normal para user-name.)

UX: use same styling for username and user-name

Empurrei outra correção aqui para a página /about:

FIX: respect `prioritize_username_in_ux` setting on /about page

Encontrei um local onde essa configuração não parece estar surtindo efeito: a lista de correspondências de nome de usuário nos resultados da pesquisa:

Geminiscp é o nome de usuário e prioritize username in ux = true.

Acabamos de instalar a barra lateral e o chat experimentais. Os nomes completos podem ter prioridade na seção de chat pessoal também se desativarmos prioritize_username_in_ux?
